I know it makes me happy because it's such a phenomenon with kids in the house! Usually I open the lid to find just enough peanut butter left at the bottom to warrant letting the dog clean it out before tossing it into the recycle bin.
It's also like that first step you take after a new snowfall. There's such an unbroken purity, and (maybe I'm going a little too far with this but...) a sense of oncoming adventure!
Author of five novels, most recently THE BLESSINGS OF THE ANIMALS and my first book for tweens, REASONS TO BE HAPPY. Gardener, runner, cook, cat lover, caffeine & movie addict.
